Topic: Several Silk Road moderators arrested by FBI - page 2. (Read 1403 times)
It's because it would directly contradict all their celebrations about the first silk road being taken out and 'ending' illegal operations in Bitcoin etc. you guys forget how carefully controlled the media is, by supporting Bitcoin you indirectly become an enemy of the Federal Reserve especially if you're doing something illegal and these guys are a lot more careful than the U.S government ever are.
it's funny how SR 2.0 gets cracked down, and it barely makes the bitcoin news cycle these days.
I was suprised there was no thread about it already.
Yes this a real shame, but it just shows there is still a lot of work to do in the area of internet freedom.
yeah, if you want silkroad to succeed, you have to hire the services of an organized crime syndicate.

Shit, what another massive blow to the anonymity world.
wow, that didn't last very long.
It's still up and running apparently. Maybe there was a vulnerability in the forum software or something.

Guys I was arrested yesterday and out on bond now. But something is fucked! I know I’m risking more warning you guys and my attorney doesn’t even want me on the internet but you guys need to know this. When I was in the interview room they showed me all sorts of shit that they should not know or have access to including conversations I’ve had with buyers and even [the Silk Road 2.0 administrator known as the Dread Pirate Roberts]. I don’t fucking understand.. and when I was in there I was at a loss for words. Something is definitely wrong and they have the ability to see things on here only mods or admins should like [bitcoin] transfers and a dispute I had.
Maybe they gained access by exploiting the forum avatars like on here haha. Is is interesting to find out how they busted them or got that info. Bet a lot of people are shitting bricks over there right now
.Libertas was on the old SR so maybe they already had some info on him.

wow, that didn't last very long. what can they charge those guys with, if all that can be linked to them is that they moderate the SR forums?

Looks like at least three moderators have been busted including Libertas in Ireland.
